Spices?

Okay I think I glutened myself today with cajun spice, I thought my husband said cayenne. I am very new to this and still learning new things every day. I was wondering if we have troubles with lunchmeat? I know they inject some of it with broth. So what exactly am I looking for in a lunchmeat that I can have?

I guess that "cajun spice" could have gluten in it but in my experience it generally doesn't. There are, however, different formulations, so you'd have to check to know for sure. Do you know the brand? Cayenne should not have gluten.

Virtually all prepackaged lunchmeats I've ever checked have been gluten-free. Hillshire Farm and Buddig are all gluten-free. Oscar Meyer (Kraft) will clearly list any gluten. All Boar's Head meats are gluten-free now. The broth in meats is usually a meat broth and does not contain gluten. And all raw meats are by USDA law required to list any wheat, rye, barley or oats.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
